This dovetails nicely with my blog yesterday (see The Saudi Camel-MERS Controversy Continues) on the continuing reluctance of many Saudis to believe their beloved national symbol could carry, and transmit the MERS virus.

I'm going to spend a few posts catching up on some excellent papers showing the role of camels in harbouring and transmitting the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). There also seems to be some confusion remaining about what we know, what we don't know, and also how bats fit in to the picture. I'll finish the next few posts with a summary.

Please do check out my previous listing of the literature around MERS-CoV and camels.[1]

I'll republish an updated literature list in the summary post as well.
